I paid for the Gold warranty with Subaru Bucks from my Chase Subaru credit card, so $0 out of pocket.

There's an opportunity cost to earning Subaru Bucks. You give up cashback on other CCs to get the Subaru Bucks.
 
End result: You [indirectly] paid for the warranty.
 
P.S. Granted, it's hard to find a CC with across the board 3% rewards.

Exactly. I usually get 1% on most stuff, so you're still getting 67% of it for "free".

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a new Forester and bought the Subaru Gold Plus extended warranty from Joe Gingras of Roto Subaru Mazda Inc.
(847-255-5700 ext 290). He is very professional and prompt, and the warranty is Genuine Subaru warranty (my dealer tried to sell me some inferior and overpriced warranty called "platinum" - Subaru does not sell such a warranty).
The warranty for 7 years/70,000 miles with $0 deductible cost $835.

I didn't end up getting my warranty from Joe, but during my research, I found him to be a very amicable and low pressure guy. I would have had no problem doing business with him. Lots of good press for him.

Does it cover the tires/rims, dunts & dings on your car for that price.

It does not cover accidental damage.

It does not cover accidental damage. It is not insurance.

Excellent coverage on everything but maintenance. Funny how people think a service contract should cover their maintenance - that's not what they're for. Negotiate a fair price - offer a hundred over cost. All Subaru Added Security contracts dealer cost = 1/2 MSRP. How's that for your new direction ?
